Posted: 12/6/2007 3:41:46 AM | ummm....what is your motivation here?
Shouldn't it be the "person" before the body? You sound a bit superficial to me. | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 4:00:11 AM | I agree that profile photos must include at least ONE full body one, not having one indicates a high probability of ......, but I would not say 95%.
"Shouldn't it be the "person" before the body? You sound a bit superficial to me."
With that rationale in mind, why have face photos then? Sorry, inconsistent rationale IMO!

I do not see the "need" for such an attitude! Peace!
Who says that not good looking people are more rational or "intellectual" than "good looking" or "good bodied" ones? Evidence?
What is wrong with "transparency" in dating re body looks? IMO it is not weight or size that determines attractiveness in a body, but its "architecture" and that is only determined via a body photo or more.

Posted: 12/6/2007 7:32:29 AM | from my experience just face pictures means they are big, large women, guess the same goes for men.
just face pictures is often a BIG disappointment to meet in real life. I can't be attracted and interested in someone when they gross me out.
sorry but thats how it goes. | |

Think about it this way, All of your pic's seem to be of you posing.. Dressed up, or at least looking very well..
If it's that much of an issue with people looking for a good looking person, why do all the people saying it's superficial have such glamorous pic's on there profiles?
Lets see some just woke up photos.. Or even a few "not a good day" pic's...
I'm not looking for the worlds next super model.. But whats wrong with wanting a person that is easy on the eyes?

Posted: 12/6/2007 8:13:02 AM | Hi
I have just face pics on here..! not too hide anything as I'm very honest
I have put in my profile that I'm actually rather cuddly, have never lied about my shape or size to anyone, its not worth it ,if you do date someone for the first time and as you so wonderfully quote "Looks like a dinasaur" it may be embarrassing for both of you..
I think its the person inside that counts anyway....dont judge a book by its cover | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 8:23:43 AM | Hey .. the belly.. do you want me to scare you away.
My pictures are , most of them fuzzy, just every day shots,
I'm not saying looks don't matter, I like someone who takes pride in their looks, its just amuzing how every other thread has to do with looks.
Me , most of the guys I meet aren't handsome Prince's, but it is the inside that matters. usually there is something about the picture that draws me to them but it has to be something in the profile that intrigues me enough to meet them. | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 8:24:20 AM | I wouldn't say it's shallow to want to know how someone looks before meeting them. Everyone should have at least one full length photo just so anyone wanting to leave a message can have a better idea of what you look like .
Honestly though with all the people i have met in the past from plenty of fish i can't say someone ever used old ,fake , or altered pictures. I have met a few from other sites where this has happened ,but not from here. I think all in all though that most people do have up recent and accurate pictures . We only think it's more misleading pictures because of all the horror stories we hear in the forums. | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 8:38:45 AM | There's nothing wrong with wanting to have an initial physical attraction to someone is it?
Even those that declare people shallow for that thought have those thoughts. Though they say they don't, which I find very hard to believe.
Yes, it is the inside that counts. However, who wants to be with someone that they are not physically attracted too. I have many female friends that have great personalities and we have a hoot together at functions. However, I have no physical attraction to them and it will always be friends.
I also am wary of head shots only. I have a preferred body type I find attractive. I don't like too thin/skinny, but I also don't like too heavy. I've found in most cases, via seeing people at POF events, that the ones with just the head shots do not have a body type I find attractive which is too heavy. The too thin/skinny ones usually show a full body pic because they think that is what all the guys want. There is a happy medium for some of us and age does come into play also. A body in their 40's could be expected to have a roll as compared to a body in their 20's. | |

Thats not really what I was trying to get at.. I would like to see some of these people that say it's shallow to want to be with a decent looking person to post some not so fixed up, just out of bed pic's... Then it would make more sense for them to call me shallow!
By the way, you are smokin... I just realized how well aged you are! Damn woman.. I hope women look like that when I get there...

Posted: 12/6/2007 8:47:18 AM | I simply have to disagree.
I have only face photos, and I have not had a single complaint. In fact, I have repeat requests for meetings...
however the last 2 gentlemen I met for coffee have looked nothing like their photos. And they had full body shots. Apparently those photos were about 15 years old... but were full body shots nevertheless.
I personally like men who have plenty to hug. I also like men who are athletic... and everything in between! As long as they are intelligent and have a good sense of humor.
But if you don't have an honest photo up... I consider that deceitful and you won't be meeting with me twice. Look elsewhere for a new friend! | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 8:49:35 AM | Wow ... full face, body, wake up, sleeping, ..... how about in the shower????? Good grief ..... I have 3 pics on .... 1 is a year and a half old and 2 are from august. I get recognised from the old pic constantly. Maybe I shouldn't have put my work pic online?!?! All three pics are completely different and I've had messages that say they are not all of me .... how funny is that .... of course they are. I've had messages that say the work pic must be at least 10 years old!! Give me a break .... I'm an esthetician by day and a singer by nite ..... of course I'm gonna look after myself.
Some of the best dates I've had have been with fellas with no pics online. I have no complaints about any of them, they were all great people and some have become even greater friends.
We should all be so fortunate to be perfect! NOT!!

Posted: 12/6/2007 8:54:14 AM | | While it is of course deceitful to have old full body photos, that does not mean that not having body photos is better than having recent body photos. If one has 2 body photos and 6 face ones, one should be able to tell by the look on the face of the full body photos that they are old, I would think. Transparency, real one, is the best policy. | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 9:19:36 AM | | Plain and simple pictures can be deceiving. Everyone wants to look good. They put up old pics or glamour shots LOL. Just be honest with the people you are talking to. If they don't like what you have to say move on....plenty of fish in the sea. We all like different shapes and sizes!! I know I do. | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 12:40:14 PM | I've been online for a long time. I never had any pics posted anywhere until this year.
If the only reason someone is going to talk to me is because of how I look (notice I didn't put up a very good pic) then I don't really want to talk to them. If someone doesn't want to talk or answer an email because of how I look then they can go to hell. The same can be said for someone who would base contact on a body shot. I have spent quite a bit of time over the years in chat rooms and got the "what are you hiding?" question so many times from people who were hiding the fact that they were married or in a relationship.
I will agree that for a relationship to happen there has to be a physical attraction. Anyone who doesn't think that IMO is just kidding themselves. The physical attraction isn't always the first thing that happens though. There are times when a person doesn't become attractive until you get to know what they are really like. On the other hand some people get really ugly once you get to know them. | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 12:54:27 PM | Hmmm, I have both face and body pics on here and I don't really have a preference about other people's pics - unless they're taken from 10 miles away and are/or so blurred they could be anyone !!
Does wearing make up in your pics (re females) make a difference to guys? Just asking becasue I use 'without' make up pics, so there's no nasty surprises...................
.............mayhap that's my mistake!!! | |

Posted: 12/6/2007 2:14:57 PM | As usual, there are two facets to this problem. You mention that you're having trouble spelling the names of dinosaurs....you might want to invest in a copy of "The How and Why Book of Dinosaurs" - most varieties are listed in there. Self-education, in this case, is a step in the right direction. If POF required all members to display body shots, some bonehead would likely whine that we didn't all have swimsuit, evening gown, professional work attire, lingerie and just-woke-up shots too.
pffft. | |
